1Man made his gods, and furnished themwith his own body, voice, and garments.2If a horse or lion or a slow ox had agile hands for paint and sculpture,the horse would make his god a horse,the ox would sculpt an ox.3Our gods have flat noses and black skinssay the Ethiopians. The Thracians sayour gods have red hair and hazel eyes.
